Our little son will be years of age on the

with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician, who treated him
Tor about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment. as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to
get up in the night and rub him with soda
in water. strong l1niments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had ATTEMPTED to cure him, all alike
falling, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Goth of last July,
when we began to give him CUTICURA RE.
SOLVENT internally, and the CUTICURA, and
CUTICURA SOAP externally, and by the last
OF August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only one desc of the REsoLvENT
about every second day. for tout ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used
less than one-half of a bottle of CUTICURA
REsoLyENT, q little less than one box of

Misery After Eating.

Is avoided by dyspeptics who, guided
by the recorded experience of thou
sands, begin and Systematically pursue
a course of Hostetter' Stomach Bitters.
Persistence in the use of this pure and
highly accredited stomachic, is the sole
and agreeable condition of the entire
removal of the obstinate forms of dys-
pepsia, no less than temporary fit of
Indigestion. In connection with the
use of this specific, it is desirable to
avoid articles of food which individual
experience has shown to be difficult of
digestion, by the stomach sought to be
benefited. Each dyspeptic's past
observation of his digestive capacity
should enable him to be his own guide
and mentor in this particular, not
trusting to any set of dietetic rules too
general to be suited to particular cases
Biliousness and constipation heartburn,

tanning large amount OF money. A cttiZeh saw
the act, and, Curran observing this, slipped the
pOcket-bOok into a colored mans pocket, and had

appear, and 1t was stated that friends OF Curran
had sent him out OF the city. Curran was con-
vtcted and given three months in jail After
serving the three months sentence he went West

his professional tricks. He was given three years

inferred in Mount Ol1vet Cemetery. He was ad-
mitted to the hospital under the name OF Frank

sorry to the murder OF Policeman Arnold In Alex
andria. His photograph is in the rOgues' gallery

the police get rid OF man who has given them
considerable trouble, and he was often suspected
OF "jObS' done in this city.
